SILENT AUCTION
17th Annual Haiti Mission
Golf Tournament & Bec’s Silent Auction
May 11, 2026
Hello Friends:
We hope that you had a blessed Holy Week and Happy Easter. Since we closed the Sponsor Phase of the Silent Auction last month, we received over $3,000 in additional donations which increased our record setting total to $210,574. Mesi anpil and Bondye beni to all our generous sponsors and donors! It is clear from the donor phase that God’s plan is that we should continue to build a minimum of two - three homes per month for the next year. Each home currently costs $9000.
Despite all the challenges in Haiti we continue to be able to get supplies. Our 70-man construction team completed Home #426 in March and are currently working on Homes # 427-429.
HMI continues to feed over 360 children a day at school, and we fed 480 prisoners in February and will do so again in April. We have a mission trip scheduled from June 28 – July 4, 2026, and we will be doing a Family Distribution for 163 families. None of this is possible without your generous support. God is good!

We want to thank you in advance for your consideration and support. We need many generous donors to make the auction a success.
